I doubt whether many members concentrate on one program alone Rolf.
Yes - who knows where the next great engine will come from?
Fernando is right - there is a wealth of fine free engines available of all
strengths. A visit to the WBEC Ridderkerk is strongly recommended.
Naum 1.9 and Glaurung 1.01 have just been released and there are info pages on
all the available engines there.
